Tim will be in Sao Paulo, Brazil for a few days attending a meeting of Nikkei christians about how to reach the Nikkei people living in South America and Japan. Please pray that this will be a insightful meeting about the Nikkei culture and that there will be a lot of information about how to reach Nikkei people. (Nikkei: people of Japanese ancestry living outside of Japan.)
We are aware of a couple of people looking for student exchange programs in the United States.
1) Marcello is a teenage boy that goes to Colegio America high school. He would like to attend school in the U.S. his 11th grade year next year (Mar - Dec 09) to improve his english. He speaks good English now but it would help him to be in an all english environment.
2) Joyce is soon to finish her 2nd of five years of her college business degree program. She would like to find a situation to work over her summer break (mid Dec - March 30). Her business degree program requires students to work out of the country for one of her summer breaks. She could do this either this summer or next. (The summer in Peru is the American winter.)
Please pray for continued cultural understanding. It strikes me more everyday that we really have to understand culture to be able to communicate at a deep personal human level to share the news of God's love. Currently I am preaching every other week in a new church. It is very humbling to try to prepare to preach anytime I think. But it is a more difficult process at this point in my language acquisition to be prepared to share the Gospel in the Spanish language in a Peruvian culture. Please pray that I will be able to prepare sufficiently so that I can properly be used of God to share the truth of His love and desire that all people would come to know Him personally in my second language of (Peruvian) Spanish.
We truly need and appreciate all of your prayers for our family and the Nikkei.
God's Blessing and Peace,
